NOTE:
Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single
phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 12 Volt, DC loads to the 12 Volt
outlet.
Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of 3500, do not attempt
to draw more than 3000 Watts from the 120 Volt outlet. Draws higher than 3000
Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty.
NOTE:
While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlet or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12
Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with
the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.
DC Usage
• The DC outlet is for charging 12 Volt battery, up to 8 Amps.
• NEVER attempt to jumpstart a car with this generator.
Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved in an emergency.
To Plug Items Into the Generator
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
3. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
To Plug Items Into the USB
The generator offers convenient (5V DC 2.0 A) USB outlet to allow charging of USB devices like tablets, MP3 players, GPS, digital cameras and
other USB chargeable devices. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started before plugging in a USB cable for charging.
Engine Overload Indicator Light
If the engine overload indicator light comes on, the generator s wattage / amperage capacity has been exceeded by connected electrical devices or
by a power surge. When this occurs, the green AC Pilot Indicator Light will go off. The engine will continue to run, (but the red Engine Overload
Indicator Light will stay on and power will no longer be supplied to connected electronic devices.
AC Pilot Indicator Light
The green AC Pilot Indicator Light comes on when the engine starts and generates power.
DC Circuit Breaker
When the DC Circuit Breaker is in the “ON” position, the generator is able to supply power to connected electronic devices. When the DC Circuit
Breaker is in the “OFF” position, the generator will no longer supply power. The DC Circuit Breaker automatically turns “OFF” when connecting
electronic devices to the generator that exceed the generator’s rated output. If the DC Circuit Breaker turns off, reduce the load of connected
electronic devices until the load is within the specified rated output. To re-establish power, return the DC Circuit Breaker back to the “ON” position

Connect only electrical devices that are in good
working order. Faulty devices or power cords
present the risk of electrical shock. Immediately
turn off and disconnect any device that
commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or
abruptly stops. Determine if the problem was the
device or the rated load capacity of this generator
has been exceeded.
